No matter what apple says about privacy being a right, they don't let your location be private to their business.

I remember years ago turning off location services on my iphone, and finding my iphone connecting to .ls.apple.com all the time (location services).

I just think people don't want to give up control. They just trick/force/wear down people/customers until they give up their* control.

It's too bad. I remember reading Matt Ridley's "the rational optimist" I think he said that when trading partners have trust, trading is unlimited.

If I was treated with respect by apple, I would have trust and buy all kinds of things from them. Instead, I have to do this careful calculus, with devices, upgrades, apps and usually do not.

Even if you turn them off you can still get tracked through SSIDs
